I like it, like I like my coffee and cake to be inclusive and outspoken. Favourite place in town.

I went here a few times now, and I love the food, the drinks and the space. I like how they take a stand for things I support (lgbtq+, welcoming refugees, not being racist, fascist or rude, and being vegan). I was here with my parents in law, and my spouse, and everyone regardless of age just loved their cakes, their ambiance and vibed. I like how there are always dogs and pets there. I will be going there many more times with friends and family. I'm just very happy when going there. I think it's great that everyone working there seems really nice and happy. I wish they were open later, but it's ok.

Pros: ambiance and friendliness and dogs, cakes and coffee, food

Cons: hours

Imitation from 5 years ago

Dark style, not very enjoyable music..nice staff..better to sit outside.
Food feels like it's from 5 years ago when vegans were trying hard to make a cheeseburger with bacon and eggs on the side.. and we have good stuff already.. but not at Lucifer lives.

Drinks and cakes are great.

Génial !

Je suis tellement contente de trouver des viennoiseries véganes dans le centre de Bruxelles ! Un vrai bonheur !!! Vu le contexte covid nous n'avons pas pu profiter de l'ambiance sur place, mais le peu que nous avons vu nous donne envie de revenir ! J'ai également beaucoup aimé les latte ! Merci !

Pros: bon, viennoiseries, localisation

Grateful for this spot in Brussels 🖤

I’ve been trying different items from the menu on my two visits. Chai latte is super tasty. Savoury options are good (soup, sandwich) but can we talk about the cakes!? I’ve had a pear, chocolate and almond pie today and this was the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to be able to go and enjoy the atmosphere there. Until then, I’ll keep on ordering take away. 🖤🙏🏻

Has vegan cakes, donuts, croissants and pain au chocolat! Everything super tasty. Also offers brunch on the weekends which is amazing. All seems to be home made!

The best vegan café in Brussels

Lucifer lives is hand down my favourite café in Brussels. Their food is 100% vegan and so delicious! They offer amazing brunch options, hot drinks and cakes. They are the most outspoken café in Brussels when it comes to taking a stance against racism, sexism, LBTQIA+ phobia and speciesism and create a safe space where everyone is welcome!

Pros: delicious food , super friendly staff, hip atmosphere

Fantastic

Great macchiato and cake, and more than welcoming staff! You can see the smiles behind their face mask!

Amazing

I had one of the best vegan cakes ever here. There were lots of options for food and for drinks at a very reasonable price and the staff were really friendly. It's everything you could wish for in a place like this. Definitely worth making time for when you're in Brussels

Pros: Delicious cakes, lots of choice, good price

Wonderful addition to the Brussels' vegan 'scene'

Since we went into lockdown I haven't had a sit-down meal or snack. I take out because I feel safer that way. So that was the plan today. However, the place felt safe enough to risk it since the rules were observed.
I sat down in a plush armchair, not far from the Meat Is Murder album cover on the wall (I am a massive fan), and although I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I enjoyed my piece of layer cake with peanut butter by Buddy Buddy immensely. Price/quality was good as well, which isn't often the case elsewhere here in Brussels when you look at what's on offer for vegans.
Service was friendly and really fast.
If they were in my neighbourhood I'd be a regular.

Great sweets, great drinks, friendly faces

Comfortable coffee bar with Anglo-Saxon style baked goods, great drinks and assumed identity. What's not to love.

Best vegan place in Brussels!!

My partner and I (and our two dogs) had the BEST breakfast & coffee at Lucifer Lives last week. Everything was so fresh and delicious that I'm dreaming about going back there next time I'm in Brussels. Oh and the owners are very friendly and just seem like genuinely good people. I love places like this

Best vegan pastries in Brussels

Im not a big coffee drinker but definitely a sweet tooth and i can recommend this place for every cake eater - chocolate, red velvet, carrot cake, apple cake, salted caramel cake, lemon cake and so on, (even donuts!) the offer depends on the day. They serve great tea and chai latte😄loved it!

Pros: Best cake!!, Good decoration and ambiance, Nice background music

A vegan cafe like no other

Top-notch espresso-based drinks made with beans from a local Brussels roastery, a variety of delicious vegan pastries (most beautifully crafted vegan chocolate cake in town, and pain au chocolat is the best I've ever tried!), generous fresh sandwiches during lunch time, coolest/rarest movie posters and art you'll ever see in a coffee shop... every item seems to have it's own story! But the best thing about this place is that it is run by two lovely people who are openly creating a safe space for people of color, LGBTQ, and refugees. Thank you for this special spot ❤️

Pros: Everything is vegan and animal-cruelty free, Delicious cakes, donuts, croissants, Best staff and ambience, 🐕-friendly

Not recommended.

I had breakfast at luciferlivescoffee, not at all the best vegan coffee in Brussels. Morover, no covid rules have been observed: no physical distance, no name of clients sitting at table required. I asked to observe the rules and to take name of clients and they didn't want to do it. I would expect a vegan place been more careful to clients and public health. Instead they break the safety rules in favor of profit.
For sure I will not go there again. Stay safe!

I was sitting at the table not far away from you that day and I'm sorry but you and your partner were very rude to staff member.
The person was calmy telling you that everything possible was made to keep clients as safe as possible they apologized many many times and you kept being very agressive and rude.
They are not responsible for people on the streets not following official directives.
The staff DO ask for names and contacts, I've been there three times already and they do everytime.
Sorry guys that you didn't had a good time or felt safe, but you can't take down the entire shop's team for civic responsibilities not being taken from clients. It's very low.

You created your account specifically to put an unfair review for a new vegan spot. Damn you must be obsessed with them, since you left the same comment on Facebook. Next time you can stay home😄

Don't miss it!

I've only been in this café once but will definitely come back. It is located in a great area of Brussels and is very cozy. I tried the red velvet cake, which was delicious! The staff was super friendly as well, and as a bonus point, they have beautiful plants in the café😄it is a little expensive but totally worth it in my opinion, I definitely recommend it!

Pros: Decoration, atmosphere, staff, Homemade food, 100% vegan

Cons: Price

New favourite spot in Brussels

Only been there once but I already know this place is one of my favourite in Brussels.

Morgane is the baker and Lucas is the barista. Their coffee shop is decorated with Animal Rights signs and (horror) movie posters. They offer delicious cakes and pastries and there's also a weekly sandwich which is really popular.

Will be back again and again and again.

Pros: Cool neighborhood, Fair prices, Beautiful place in itself

Cons: None
